Two years ago I made a birthday promise to paint something for my dear friend Kim once she got into her new house. She decided that she wanted to have a tree on her living room wall to display her family photos on, as though they were hanging from the branches. She moved in a year ago, and today I was finally able to go over and get it done for her.
We spent the afternoon chatting and watching Jon Taffer rescue bars across America while I painted. She told me stories about the people in her family as we hung them up on her tree, and watched as her display came to life.
It's things like this that make me grateful to have a paintbrush in hand. Furniture is pretty, and I love to do a nice canvas painting once in a while too. This though, holds up the people that mean the most to Kim, and for that I'm honored to have been able to paint it. <3
That is beautiful. I wish I had space on my living room wall for that. You never cease to amaze me Kristin!
